The oppressor of Random Battles and the best vehicle in the Soviet Tech Tree.

That's what the IS-7 was, a long time ago.

These days, the IS-7 is a little different,

Once there were two Tier X tanks in the game.

If you got car sickness when performing turns, you took the Maus

and slowly crushed everything in your path.

New vehicles have appeared. They have better guns, and they are more manoeuvrable.

However, the IS-7 is still an interesting vehicle.

Why? It's not easy to answer that question.

Let's take a look at its characteristics.

According to its stats on paper, the IS-7 can accelerate up to 60 km/h!

That's just 5 km/h less than the speed of the Bat.-Chât.

And rolling downhill, this tank does gain

However, it's not so great on flat ground.

In ideal conditions on the streets of Himmelsdorf, the IS-7 has a maximum speed of…

well, actually, it never reaches its maximum speed! Never!

At best, you can get it up to a speed of 45 km/h.

In fact, many characteristics of the IS-7 are quite average.

For example, it has only 2150 hit points.

That's something you can live with, but the IS-7's gun…

It lacks accuracy, its rate of fire is slow,

and its aim time is the slowest among all vehicles of the same tier.

So, if you don't want to drive yourself crazy, forget about shooting from long distances.

There is a ray of light in the gun characteristics. Its damage per shot is quite good-490.

Without it, the IS-7 would be better off ramming than shooting.

Or, to be more exact, what's good about it?

The armor of the IS-7 is not your normal armor.

The IS-7's turret is practically made of titanium and Superman's skin.

It has 270mm of armor in the front of the turret and a mantlet that is 350mm thick.

The hull pike nose will make the Tank Commander hoarse from constantly shouting, “Ricochet!”

The lower glacis plate is a weak spot. But if you manage to hide it,

the combination of the IS-7 and a low spot can do incredible things!

and 42,000 of potential damage! And what's the result?

The thickness of the turret armor is lower than the penetration value of the Waffenträger's shell!

How could it withstand those hits? Here's the secret!

It's all about the ancient magic of Egyptian priests

The armor of the IS-7's turret is sloped.

the so-called relative armor thickness is much higher.

The design of the hull is very interesting.

If the tank is directly facing the line of fire,

the armor plates of the pike nose are placed at acute angles.

That's why a shell will most likely ricochet.

And if it doesn't, it will still have to penetrate much more than the actual 150mm of armor.

But if you turn the pike nose to the side,

In this position, the armor can be penetrated.

And a hit to this area can blow up the ammo rack and tear off the turret.

that it flies off more beautifully than turrets of other tanks!

This is not the boring fall of the Maus's turret or of a strange French vehicle.

This is a show you can watch again and again.

The IS-7 has 150mm of armor on the sides.

Theoretically, that side armor should be easily penetrated by many vehicles.

In practice, it withstands hits quite well.

There were even rumours that the side plates were made of mithril.

It's hard to imagine, but the geometry of the sides is even more complex than that of the pike nose.

There's a line of armor angled at 45 degrees right under the turret.

It's hard to hit this line and hard to penetrate it, and shells often ricochet off of it.

And this is the most mysterious part of the side.

It's vertical and players are enticed to shoot there.

“Why didn't it penetrate it?” should be inscribed on the side.

so it's almost useless to try to penetrate the IS-7's side with HEAT shells.

A HEAT shell first explodes on the side skirt.

A penetrating jet forms. It penetrates the side skirt

and loses its armor penetration value for the first time.

This value is equal to the relative armor thickness in the place of hit.

Then the jet moves toward the main armor,

losing 5% of its armor penetration for every 100mm of empty space it has to pass through.

Finally, the weakened jet reaches the main armor.

If the IS-7's side were oriented at 90 degrees,
